We watched the Oscars at a Mercedes-Benz sponsored party at L.A.’s new Soho House on Sunday night. The British and NY based Soho House – in NYC, it’s on Ninth Avenue in the Meatpacking district, and hosts a restaurant, screening rooms, pool tables, bars and meeting areas for its private membership (NY edition in our photo here) – has taken up temporary residence in L.A. around the Oscars for years. But this time, it’s for real – that’s what the manager told us. Waldo Fernandez, famed decorator to the stars, told us he brought in the furniture for the events this week, but will procure permament fixings for the club, at the top of 9200 Sunset, which opened officially on Monday after the Oscars. It’s got fabulous views, a huge marble fireplace, a wood lined bar, and a great outdoor terrace with heat lamps for parties and screenings. At the Mercedes Benz screening party on Sunday, we mingled with stylists Magda Berliner and Tanya Gill; actress Perrey Reeves, Cameron Silver – who helped put Kathryn Bigelow in her Boucheron earrings at the Oscars – Andy and Jodi Wing, eyebrow queen – who had just come from doing the eyebrows of Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Lopez for the Oscars – Cheryl Tiegs, Julia Sorkin, and a lot more of L.A.’s coolest residents – who no doubt will soon be Soho House members. Some of them, apparently, already are. The event was producer by Patrick Herning for Fathom pr. – Merle Ginsberg
